Atlanta Is Happy Hunting
Ground For Cincy Reds
By DAVID M MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) — It didn’t
take the hit-hungry Cincinnati
Reds long to learn that Atlanta
is a happy hunting ground for
bagging base hits.
Manager Don Heffner was de
lighted Monday night when his
Reds, who had been hitting at
an anemic .229 clip, ripped out
13 hits in a 7-4 victory over the
Braves.
“The folks who picked us as
a winner in the pre-seaon polls
figured us for hitters,” Heffner
said. "We’ve been picking up
lately and our showing against
the Braves indicates we’re com
ing around.”
However, Heffner apparently
was unaware that everybody’s
been hitting against the Braves
who have given up an average
of 10 hits per in a dozen outings
in Atlanta Stadium.
Pitching Problems
The Braves have been having
pitching problems, especially at
home. They used 26 pitchers in
their previous six-game home
stand and started their latest by
using six Monday night.
"Our pitching can’t be as bad
' as it seems,” moaned Braves
manager Bobby Bragan. “We’ve
got some fellows we know can
throw. They’ve got to start com
ing around sometime.”
To add to their woes, the
Braves have two games with

the Reds tonight. Bragan plans
to go with Hank Fischer (1-1)
and Denny Lemaster (2-1). Be
tween them they’ve made eight
starts and the only complete
game was Lemaster’s shutout
win over the Houston Astros. It
will be Jim Maloney (1-0) and
Milt Pappas (1-2) for the Reds.
Bragan plans to go with Tony
Cloninger (2-3), Monday night’s
starter and loser, in Wednes
day’s game with the Reds.
“Tony only went three inn
ings,” Bragan said. “He got
beat before he got hot. He
actually was throwing pretty
good and I’m gambling he’ll be
sharp on Wednesday.”
Heffner Not Impressed
Heffner wasn’t particularly
impressed with Cloninger Mon
day night. “I’ve certainly seen
him when he was throwing bet
ter,” he said.
Cloninger retired the Reds in
order in the first but gave up
three singles and a run in the
second. In the third, his last
inning, he was horrid. He gave
up two two-run homers and a
double, committed an error and
hit a batsman.
The Braves, who chased win
ner Joey Jay in the seventh, hit
well enough to win. Eddie
Mathews finally got his first
home run of the the season;
Denis Menke, who had to come
out because of a leg injury, had
his third; and Gary Geiger and
Woody Woodward had doubles

The loss dropped the Braves

The Reds, now 8-14, moved into
a tie for eighth with St. Louis.
“This ball club is a heck of a
lot better than «-14,” Hefftoer

of those. “We’re due to start

Namath, Taylor
Too Expensive
For The Army
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Ath
letes such as Joe Namath and
Charley Taylor will stay out of
the armed forces because the
government can’t afford them.
The Army, in testimony
made public Monday, said one
major reason that professional
athletes with physical defects
were deferred from duty was to
spare the government the cost
of paying injury claims for
years to come.
Namath of the New York
Jets and Taylor of the
Washington Redskins were re
jected because of physical
disabilities and the Army has
been under fire from civilian
groups who wonder why these
young athletes can participate
in rugged sports and still not be
fit for military duty.
This same question was put
to Army witnesses at a recent
hearing before a House appro
priations subcommittee and in
its testimony the Army cited a
report by the Surgeon General's
office on one unnamed “well
known football player.”
The report said his case was
reviewed by several of the
most prominent orthopedic
consultants in the country, who
concurred with the Army
decision to reject the player.
“To accept an individual of
this type would make ce
government partially liable for
payments of compensation for
many years to come,” the
report said.

Clay Gets Ready
For Henry Cooper
By IAN WECTERBBEN
UnHed Press Int e rnational
LONDON (UPI) —World
heavyweight champion Cassius
Clay was to start final
preparations for his May 21
title fight against British and
Empire heavyweight kingpin
Henry Cooper at London’s
White City Army Gym today.
Clay, who flew In earlier
Monday, told a fashionable
boxing-dinner audience at the
Anglo-American Sporting Club
Monday night he was looking
forward to a “nice clean fight”
against Cooper, a 32-year-old
veteran campaigner.
Clay, smartly dressed In a
dark suit and bow-tie, was the
guest of honor at Monday
night’s boxing-dinner at Lon
don’s Hilton Hotel.
In between the dinner and the
fights, Clay told the enthusias
tic audience he was happy to be
back in Britain.
“I’m happy you accept me in
such a time of crisis,” the
champ told the cheering crowd,
apparently referring to his
problems back home with the
Selective Service Board.
off the hook. Pierce was charged
with the loss.
Griffin will try to wrap up the
4-AAA South title in Jonesboro
Thursday. A victory would give
Griffin sole possession of first
place. A loss would tie the Eag

catur.

M & M Back
In Home Run
Business Again
MINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAUL
(UPI) —Remember the M and
M Boys who used to be the
scourge of the American
League?
It looks as though they might
be back in business again.
Mickey Mantle hit 19 homers
and Roger Maris six, when the
New York Yankees finished
sixth in 1965. Both were hurt
last season and this contributed
heavily to New York’s poor
showing.
It took Mantle and Maris a
long time to get together, but
they finally did Monday night
and with the help of Joe
Pepitone and Mel Stottlemyre
they nipped the Minnesota
Twins, 3-2, to keep manager
Ralph Houk undefeated with a
3-0 mark.
The M and M boys each hit a
homer Monday night and it was
the first time they got together
on roundtrippers since June 18,
1965.
“I expect to play a lot of
games this year,” Mantle said.
“X don’t think I'll play in many
day games after night games,
or second games of doublehead
ers. This won’t give my legs
enough time to rest. But I’m
going to be in there a great
deal.
Clay, accompanied by his
manager Angelo Dund e e and
London matchmaker Harry
Leven, said he would start off
today with a press conference
and a first workout at 2 p.m.
(10 a.m. EDT) at the Territor
ial Army Gym at White City.
Clay, who surprised Londo
ners with his modest and quiet
appearance earlier Monday,
was in something like his old
form as he faced the audience
at the swank London Hilton.
“Thanks, but please let
Henry Cooper out of his room,”
quipped the champ as he was
greeted with a rousing ovation.
Cooper was also a guest of
honor at the boxing dinner.
Recalling what happened in
his first clash with Cooper here
in 1963, v/hen he was put on the
floor in the fourth round, Clay
said:
“For this fight I must be
awfully swift. Cooper is tricky,
tough and, I understand, he’s
getting desperate, and I don’t
blame him.”
He said he found out after
their last fight "that I tripped
over a left hook.” That will not
happen this time, he added.
East Griffin
Girls Down WG
The East Griffin girls blasted
the West Griffin lassies, 18-1,
Monday in the Girls Grammar
School Softball League.
Marilyn Parker hit two dou
bles and a home run for East

single and homerun. Lexine
Pitts and Rhonda O’Dell hit
singles for West Griffin.
